Ebolusyon interview

Essentially the process of making the film (10 years!) was every bit of an evolution as the film itself. Actually, it sounds like something Orson Welles was trying to do with his Other Side of the Wind--only Lav managed to finish his.

About Me

Philippine cinema has its share of gold and manure, artists and poseurs; because the average Filipino film costs a little over US$250,000 (in 2004 currency) and is usually shot on a stretch of about twenty shooting days (or less), the manure is often more odious than what passes for commercial filmmaking in Hollywood nowadays; on the other hand, because budget and schedule are often so small and tight, the rare gold nugget found seems all the more impressive, bordering perhaps on the miraculous. Thanks to those nuggets, I still believe in miracles.
